UnableToFetchUserDataError

[EdouardCourty]

Hello and thank you for submitting this issue.

Here is the log I get when I fetch your user, I think I know what went wrong for you, and I'll be fixing it asap.

[EdouardCourty]

It happens that Instagram likes to send 429 HTTP Codes (Too many requests) sometimes to user, which is caugth by the code and interpreted as the error you saw: UnableToFetchUserDataError.

Are you sending a lot of requests ? It could be the reason why you get this error.

I'm going to create another message or error for this type of case.

1 per 20 seconds.

Okay, thanks for your response!

Can you bypass the 429 error?

[EdouardCourty]

Hi again, unfortunately the 429 HTTP Code is send by Instagram when you send too many requests.
Maybe try to lower your request rate, or use a proxy that changes your IP address regularly.

There is no real way to bypass this since it's kind of an IP-blocking system they have, to avoid getting scrapped.
